And Now Mickey Rourke is 'Expendable,' Too

DateTuesday, January 6, 2009 at 10:29PM
Oh, that tricky Sly Stallone. He told reporters that Forest Whitaker in The Expendables was a done deal and that he was hoping to get Ben Kingsley. We just reported on it earlier tonight.

And now there could be even more Oscar gold joining the mercernary movie: Variety reports that Mickey Rourke, projected to be among this year's Best Actor nominees, has inked a deal to join the cast as well...and Stallone was completely tightlipped about it.

And since we just wrote about the Kingsley angle a couple of hours a go, I'll repeat what I said then:

"It's Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whitaker, UFC fighter Randy Couture, and Gandhi. Wow. That's strange."

Yep, and adding Mickey Rourke doesn't exactly swing the pendulum back toward the center.

The Expendables will begin shooting in Brazil in a couple of months, with an eye on a 2010 release.
